WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

The last of last week's chicken and veggies. I shall be cooking my four hour chicken this morning.

[Stanley]

The very last helping of last weeks chicken and veggies for breakfast. Then I dealt with the chicken later and dinner and tea were this week's crop of veggies with Scotch Egg.

Scotch Egg and veggies for breakfast and dinner. Chicken and veggies for tea.

[Stanley]

Back into chicken and veggies! Lovely......

Chicken and veggies and I fried my sweet potato chips.

I had a "tortilla wrap pizza" last night and used the Halogen Oven for the first time in a while.

I looked at their cost as they usually only last two to three years and there was a time when buying a new one was a reasonable solution to the element failing.

The arrival of Air Fryers has changed the market. Whereas they had increased in price - the competition has seen a reduction and they are widely available for £32 - £34 which I think is good value. Some sellers have renamed them as Halogen Air Fryers. Similarly the price of actual Air fryers has decreased substantially too. I though I had a bargain at around £60 after Christmas but similar models are a lot less now.

I would say that anyone looking for either could get a good deal now. I wouldn't replace the air fryer, but I might get another Halogen to keep in reserve. You can't cook a reasonable size pizza or a whole large chicken in an air fryer.

Depends on the size of the air fryer, you can get an 8 litre model which is more than big enough

Indeed you can, I think Wendy has one with an optional rotisserie in the void. Perhaps she may confirm.

an 8 litre model which is more than big enough

Fair enough - I was comparing them to mine which would not take a full chicken.

However that size seem to be from £75 upwards. The halogen is around £35. I think the power consumption is similar (about 1400 watts.)

I had my chicken and veggies X three and did my veggie shopping a day early as I had M&S to help me home with them.

[Stanley]

Chicken and veggies X three. This is the last of the batch, I shall be veggie cooking today.

Bought some sirloin steaks from Sainsbury's, they were very good. £5.15 each with a Nectar card. Cooked in one big pan with portabella mushrooms, tomato and sliced onions. Sweet potato fries in the air fryer and peas in the microwave. I stirred gravy granules and black pepper into the juices, left in the pan, for a sauce

[Stanley]

The last of the chicken and veggies as \i cooked veggies. This morning I shall roast the four hour chicken stuffed with spicy wings.....

[Stanley]

The very last helping of last week's batch for breakfast and then the new crop of chicken and veggies for dinner and tea. No Scotch Eggs from now on, I am slowly gaining weight and that can't be allowed!

[Stanley]

Back into my chicken and veggies X three. I didn't get celery and cabbage this week and I think the result is even tastier veggies....

[Stanley]

Chicken and veggies X three and I fried my sweet potato chips; my weekly treat!

[Stanley]

Chicken and veggies X three as I watched my men working!

[Stanley]

Chicken and veggies X three and I'm getting it into a corner. Time for veggie shopping!

[Stanley]

Chicken and veggies for breakfast and tea but a Ploughman's for dinner as I was out treating the kids.....

[Stanley]

I have just finished tidying up after cooking next week's veggies. Two hours of worthy endeavour! But it's done now, Only the chicken to roast tomorrow....

[PanBiker]

Home tomorrow so I have cleaned all the kitchen area and stuff. Chippy tea for us tonight then it's only odd brews and a bit of cereal in the morning before we set off.

When you buy a packet of "cooking bacon" from Morrisons 500grams for 90p, your expectations are not high, but it will all be edible, and I have no one to impress with presentation. The worst case scenario is loads of pea and ham soup.

Now and then it exceeds expectations-

That looks really good

[Stanley]

Still on the last of the week's chicken and veggies and I cooked next week's veggies.

[Stanley]

I roasted my chicken yesterday. Breakfast was the very last helping of last week's batch of cooking, Dinner and tea were the latest batch of veggies.
